| DEAN'S RADIATOR & DRIVE SHAFT 2216 "O" Street Lincoln, NE 68510 (402) 477-4181 |
| 1968 Corvette 427-435 hp 4 speed Complete restoration reusing the original GM-Harrison end tanks and replacing the center core with NOS A/C Delco (GM) Radiator Core. |
| Here is some of the "MUD" on the inside of an original Corvette radiator. This is what years of rust, antifreeze turned bad, and additives look like inside your radiator. This customer swore that there was no way that his radiator was dirty inside. He just thought is needed "flushed out". |
| This is the inside of the radiator core. He had flushed the cooling system regularly every year and the car only had 45,000 miles. His reason for coming to Dean's was that the car would not idle for more than 3-4 minutes without overheating. Here is what the inside of his radiator looked like. This radiator only has about 25-35% of its original flow capacity. |
| Here is one tank after we have sandblasted it. Next we will go over it from top to bottom and remove all of the dents. We want this to look as good as the day it was made back in 1968. |
| Here is a close up of the new Radiator Core before soldering the end tanks back on. You can see the tubes that carry the coolant in this picture are ready to carry maximum coolant to keep this big block Corvette nice and cool all summer long. |
